"Hello? Hello?! This guy, he always hangs up before finishing the conversation!"
At the South City Action Department, Situ Yan was annoyed after finishing a call with Jiang Feng.
She wanted to call Jiang Feng back, but he was already refusing to pick up.
"It sounds like it's urgent over there. Is there really such a serious incident in North City?" Situ Yan finally learned that along with Jiang Feng sending her crime evidence against Mr. Scar, something changed in North City, leading to a heinous kidnapping and murder plot!
Seeing her colleagues teaming up with the North City Action Department to investigate Mr. Scar's territory, Situ Yan felt uneasy. Without telling anyone, she quickly drove a car heading towards North City Pier to meet up with Jiang Feng!
...
At North City Pier, Ah Bin sacrificed his life to buy escape time for Mr. Scar!
"Damn it, how is this possible…"
Mr. Scar frantically drove through the rain, drenched in cold sweat, filled with extreme anger and reluctance!
At this moment, he seemed nothing like the high and mighty boss of North City, but more like a stray dog desperate to escape!
He was well aware of the consequences of the failed plan — everything he had fought for over the years would be in vain. It wasn't the chaos in South City that concerned him, but instead, North City would be turned upside down!
And now, the reality was he had indeed failed. Despite every effort to kill Jiang Feng, who managed to foil his plan and was left as the only survivor!
"Is that guy even human?" Along with resentment, Mr. Scar was deeply regretful. Like Ah Bin, if he'd known Jiang Feng's dreadful skill earlier, he would never have provoked him. But it's too late to say anything now!
"Damn Han Family, you ruined me!!!" Mr. Scar regretted not listening to his sister's advice, leading to his utter downfall!
At that moment, his phone rang, it was his sister, Mu Yanluo, calling him.
"Brother, where are you? Something terrible has happened!" Mu Yanluo said urgently on the other end.
"What is it?" Mr. Scar asked in surprise.
"All your properties have been shut down! Many of the outer small-time henchmen have been captured too. The rest are escaping in all directions. The action department has all your crime evidence and is striking with full force, sweeping up your North City forces. You mustn't return to the city, or you'll walk right into their trap!" Mu Yanluo said nervously.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Mr. Scar slammed on the brakes, his face full of disbelief.
The action department had cast a massive net, operating comprehensively without giving anyone in Mr. Scar's crew time to alert or react, catching everyone unprepared. Hence, Mr. Scar was barely aware until now that his base had been raided!
Suddenly, Mr. Scar found himself lost. He initially planned to flee back to his headquarters to gather all the outer henchmen for protection, ensuring his safety. But now, the city itself had become the most dangerous place. With the action department in front and Jiang Feng behind, he's left with nowhere to go!
"Brother, what on earth happened? Who did you offend? Why did this turmoil come so unexpectedly?" Mu Yanluo asked anxiously.
She still didn't know about Mr. Scar's alliance with the Han Family to secretly ensnare Jiang Feng and Chu Feifei!
In fact, to implement this plan, Mr. Scar had even manipulated things at North City University of Finance and Economics, coercing the school authorities to transfer his sister to another department as an assistant, keeping Mu Yanluo in the dark, oblivious to these happenings!
"Say no more, sister. You had the foresight. I really shouldn't have…" Mr. Scar lamented, pounding his chest in regret.
Mu Yanluo immediately sensed something and asked in shock, "Brother, don't tell me you really didn't listen to my advice and went to mess with Jiang Feng?"
"Sister, I'll say no more. You don't need to worry about me, just focus on your own matters. You've never been involved in my affairs, and they have nothing to do with you. I'll hide out in the Northeast and contact you again when I have the chance."
After that, Mr. Scar hung up without waiting for more words from Mu Yanluo, then took out the SIM card and discarded it.
He knew his sister's signal was likely already tracked by the action department!
"Damn Chu Renxiong, you're ruthless, setting me up even as you died!"
"And that Jiang Feng, just you wait. I'll be back. The day I return will be the day of your destruction!"
Then, Mr. Scar even abandoned his exclusive ride, the Mercedes-Benz S600L, leaving it by the roadside. He quickly hired the most inconspicuous motorcycle taxi to escape!
In less than an hour, he fell from paradise to hell, fleeing in disgrace!
...
Behind the North City coastal pier stands a renowned mountain in Binhai, named White Ridge Mountain!
This mountain is surrounded by the sea on three sides and stands majestically. Besides its breathtaking scenery, it has an even more famous cemetery atop, White Ridge Cemetery!
It's said that a long time ago, a master observed White Ridge's feng shui, noting that it was in an auspicious configuration perfect for prosperity. Burying one's ancestors here ensures wealth and good fortune for the family.
Since then, White Ridge became famous. A tycoon saw business opportunities and bought up a large mountainside plot to build the White Ridge Cemetery there.
For all Binhai people, being buried in White Ridge Cemetery is an honor, and those who could be buried there were no ordinary figures, always wealthy or noble. Each tombstone represented a former prominent Binhai figure buried beneath.
At this moment, on the path leading to White Ridge Cemetery, a Rolls-Royce Phantom took the lead, followed by six Bentley Mulsannes, and then dozen black Buick GL8s. They rushed through the rain into White Ridge Cemetery.
Once the cars stopped, Chu Renxiong, concerned for his daughter's safety, got out first and turned to ask Chu Yan who followed, "Xiao Yan, where's Fei'er?"
"She's inside!" Chu Yan pointed inside the cemetery.
Without a word, Chu Renxiong strode into the cemetery, soon spotting Chu Feifei alone, huddled among several tombstones, firmly tied, with a cloth gagged in her mouth.
Being drenched for so long, Chu Feifei was utterly soaked, her clothes clinging to her, skin pale and without color, face incredibly white, lips bluish, appearing fragile and helpless.
"Mmm! Mmm!!" Seeing Chu Renxiong, Chu Feifei immediately struggled and cried for help, her body twisting. She had realized since waking up that she was placed in this chilling place, unaware of what happened, surrounded by eerie tombstones that terrified her. Seeing her father, she burst into tears with grievance!
"Fei'er, don't panic, I'm here!" Chu Renxiong quickly stepped forward, untied Chu Feifei, and removed the cloth from her mouth.
With a cry, Chu Feifei threw herself into Chu Renxiong's arms, sobbing loudly.
"Don't be afraid, everything's fine now." Chu Renxiong gently stroked his daughter's hair, while his eyes scanned the surroundings. He felt something wasn't right. Was the issue resolved this easily? Was rescuing his daughter really this simple?
If it was indeed Mr. Scar's doing, it shouldn't be this easy!
Why were there no guards left to keep an eye on his daughter?
Realizing the odd situation, Chu Renxiong, while remaining cautious, decided to leave the dangerous area with his daughter first.
But just as he turned to leave, he suddenly noticed Chu Yan standing still, and then, Chu Yan said coldly, "Godfather, leaving just like that?"
Hmm?
Chu Renxiong was startled upon hearing this, then frowned, looking at him in confusion.
"Don't rush. Since we're here, let's enjoy the scenery," Chu Yan sneered, his gaze sweeping over the luxurious noble cemetery. "White Ridge Cemetery, indeed lives up to its name! Are you satisfied with it? Once you're gone, I'll erect a monument for you, and come here every year to honor you!"
